answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2014 answer text <p>Anyone who is a worker is entitled to be paid at least the minimum wage. The Government is cracking down on employers who break the law by not paying the minimum wage. Failure to comply with national minimum wage legislation is punishable in the magistrates’ courts with a fine not exceeding £5,000. Under provisions in the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012, once commenced, all fines and maximum fines of £5,000 and more will become unlimited. This will give magistrates greater powers to deal with the most serious offenders who come before them, including those who fail to comply with national minimum wage legislation. The Government intends to bring this provision into force as soon as possible.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 16/12/2014 17:25:27 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
